Patriotic Industrial Star

Patriotic Industrial Star by virginiasweetpea.com

Can you believe that the 4th of July is just a few short weeks away?  I love patriotic decor and am excited to share my Patriotic Industrial Star as part of a Red, White, and Blue Inspiration Tour that I’m participating in with 15 other bloggers.  You’ll find the links to the other projects at the bottom of this post.

I love how red, white, and blue looks against the brick wall on my porch.  My industrial star was inspired by a project that I saw in Lowe’s Creative Ideas, but I didn’t follow their directions or use the same materials when I made mine.  After hanging the star on my porch, I put together a patriotic display below it coordinate.

I’ve used my star flag holding centerpiece, a Plow and Hearth knock-off, every summer since making it back in 2010.

My mom gave me this very old patriotic hat.  It belonged to the son of the great-great uncle who built my mom’s 1912 home.  Isn’t it incredible that it was saved and in such good condition for its age?
